Qin Ze initially thought he was hallucinating because he had killed too many monsters in his dream last night and was feeling listless, but there was definitely a faint voice speaking in his ear.
"Reborn, please respond..."
Qin Ze withdrew the spiritual power from his eyes, and the sound immediately disappeared.
He channeled his spiritual energy again, and his voice rang out once more.
"Reborn, please respond. I'm near the church. Repeat, I'm near the church..."
Qin Ze looked at the glasses in his hand and said, "I heard it."
The voice in his eyes paused for a moment, then filled with immense joy. "Great! There really was someone!"
"I thought I was the only one who was reborn!"
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.
Rebirth?
He thought of the spirit in his eyes earlier.
The original inhabitants of this world did not become extinct; they seem to have survived in the form of spirits.
He wanted to be reborn through possession.
No wonder the world's doors are wide open.
No homeless people come in; they can't find a physical body even if they want to be reborn.
Qin Ze looked at the villagers who were already busy at work; these were probably not all the so-called "reborn individuals."
He continued communicating with the person on the other side of his eyes, "I was just reborn last night."
The man replied, "Of course, we were in the same batch, we all did it last night."
"I was reborn into the body of a red-eyed alien man. They were a five-person squad, and their target seemed to be the Spirit Energy Tower."
Qin Ze was startled.
Whether this guy was lucky or unlucky, he somehow managed to infiltrate Zi Yue's team.
Depend on!
Could it be that the Bai Chi girl has also been possessed?
"Just you?"
The reply from the other side was, "Yes, it seems only the two of us successfully reborn from this group of Spirit Walker."
"I have no idea what those bastards in the Dream Management Department are up to, making the world like this!"
"Even if it's just the two of us, we will rebuild the glory of the Illusion Race!"
His tone was full of enthusiasm, like a newcomer on his first day at work.
Qin Ze muttered to himself, " The Illusion Race..."
The voice asked, "Where are you?"
Qin Ze answered truthfully, "A village."
The other party exclaimed excitedly, "So many alien races have already entered!"
" Good Good Good!"
"We just need to wait quietly for others to be reborn!"
"But we need to meet up first; I can't handle the remaining four by myself."
"We must protect the Spirit Energy Tower before anyone else is reborn!"
"Time is of the essence, I... the church... the tower..."
The sound suddenly became intermittent, and finally went completely silent.
Qin Ze looked up and saw a ray of morning sun tearing through the gray sky and shining into the village.
He tried several times to use his mental energy to enter and exit the body, but could no longer receive the "signal" from the reborn individual.
Looks like we'll have to contact each other tonight.
Miss Sword Case curiously pushed the glasses in Qin Ze's hand up.
"There's nothing special about it, so why are you staring at it?"
Qin Ze's hand was pushed away, and his eyes were pressed against the red bead next to Miss Sword Case.
One large and one small, one red and one black.
"How about it?"
"I have eyes now!"
"Look at me! Look at me!"
Qin Ze reluctantly took the glasses. "This thing isn't as important as you; it's actually a communicator."
"Communicator?"
"It means I can use it to talk to other people."
"Oh~"
Miss Sword Case seemed to understand, but not quite.
However, she remembered what Qin Ze had said earlier.
Her eyes are more important than anything else.
Miss Sword Case didn't bother Qin Ze anymore, and cheerfully took out her flying sword to water the flowers with "morning water".
Qin Ze put his eyes away; he planned to contact the reborn person again that evening.
Judging from the reborn person's words, many people were reborn last night, but only he succeeded in the end.
First, we can rule out the villagers, as they are protected by dreams at night and it's impossible for them to be parasitized.
Where are the remaining rebirth vessels? The answer is obvious.
The old things in the forest have probably been Soundlessness parasitized as well.
Before the possession could be completed, the forest devoured the reborn spirit and the old creatures together.
The reborn individuals who contacted Qin Ze were fortunate enough to inhabit the Zi Yue Squad, suggesting they possess some means of combating the forest.
Fortunately, the girl who Bai Chi nothing was not possessed, so Qin Ze's Life Essence still has a place to go.
The village's evil god does not appear to be aligned with the local natives.
The addition of forests subtly creates an atmosphere reminiscent of the Three Kingdoms period.
However, now there are four countries, plus uncontrollable external factors like Qin Ze and Zi Yue.
Qin Ze looked towards the location where the tower had appeared at night.
"If I'm not mistaken, that tower is the Spirit Energy Tower the reborn people were talking about, and it's also Zi Yue and the others' target."
"The soul power stolen by the evil god was also transferred there."
All clues now point to the tower.
However, before exploring the mystery, Qin Ze planned to meet with the witch one more time.
He misunderstood the witch yesterday; the eyes on his face had nothing to do with the other person.
Miss Sword Case reluctantly put the flowerpot away and obediently nestled on Qin Ze's back.
Qin Ze arrived at the witch's house, but was stopped by the long-armed man at the door.
"The witch is not receiving guests today."
What about tomorrow?
"Also nowhere to be found."
The shaman was clearly avoiding him.
The old folks on the Local Area Network were indignant.
"Who gave them the audacity to refuse to see us!"
"That's right, charge at him!"
"I've had enough! I don't care about the forest or the village chief, I'll blow them all up!"
"Who does he think he is? He's putting on airs with us."
"Stay calm. Revealing your hand before you even know where your opponent is is reckless."
"So our Self-Destruct Squad was our trump card! Yay!"
"..."
Qin Ze was also wondering whether he should force his way in.
The long-armed man seemed to sense his intention and blocked the door with his body.
The neighbors on both sides also stuck their heads out of their windows, watching Qin Ze warily.
The villagers are generally at level seven or Level Eight in strength. It's not impossible for them to charge in head-on, but it's unnecessary.
"Then please convey my message to the witch."
"Thank you for your hospitality these past two days. I'm leaving now."
The long-armed man asked in surprise, "Are you leaving?"
Qin Ze nodded slightly, then turned and left.
The long-armed man called out to his retreating figure, "The witch asked me to tell you that he will be waiting for you at the tower, and he will tell you everything you want to know."
Qin Ze muttered to himself, "This is the first time I've seen an evil god with such a friendly attitude."
Under the watchful eyes of the villagers in the fields, Qin Ze left the village and entered the forest.
Not far away, a stream flows gently, and several fish dart about nimbly.
Upon hearing Qin Ze's footsteps, the Little Deer and the squirrels in the trees instantly darted into the depths of the forest, startling a flock of birds flying even further away.
These creatures, which had all died last night, now appeared safely and unharmed before Qin Ze.
The forest at night destroys everything, only to restart everything at the break of dawn.
Qin Ze sighed, "It would be great if Brother Yuanzi could pack the gifts properly next time."
Two hours later, Qin Ze arrived at the place where his clones had been wiped out the day before.
The clones left no trace, not even a pair of underwear, let alone bones; the forest concealed all evidence.
The collapsed building was right at Qin Ze's feet, and the first thing that caught his eye was half a plaque.
After being translated by the Key Translator, he recognized the two characters above.
" Dream Bureau."
